One of the ongoing challenges we have been facing is slow response time for uncached queries. This has been due mainly to trying to sort the results we send back, which often number in the many tens of thousands or more.
As of today we have a new database index scheme that should make a dramatic improvement in search response times. We look forward to seeing it perform and are confident it will make the site that much more usable for everyone. Thanks to Alex for making it happen.
